The new Societies Act will come into effect on Nov. 28, 2016.
While we're pointing out small details that HC -er, Uncle Scrooge got wrong, and this one is far more significant than a missed date:
Bikes are not more damaging to trails than hikers. They have been found to be quite similar in impact.
In fact, depending on the area, the way that hikers treat things like puddles (by avoiding them, thus widening the trail) and the concentrated force that goes into a bootstep vs a rolling tire, hiking can have more of an impact than biking.
Yes, there are studies to support this. You just have to look it up, Uncle Scrooge. But you might want to have that fact straight before you go disparaging mtn bikers the next time someone deigns to let you have a moment or two of their time. You also may want to be clear on that before you run for the NSMBA's board of directors.
Completely unrelated, because I can't let this go without mentioning it: schizophrenia is not the same thing as multiple personality disorder. When someone uses schizophrenic to indicate either multiple personalities, or multiple perspective on something - they're flat wrong and it's a lazy literary term anyway. Schizophrenia is a disorder that mostly entails an inability to process different stimuli. How's that for epic thread derailment?
So now that CMHC lands are fair game for recreational use again, I think this week's #flaskfriday will probably celebrate that fact.
